Bible Teachings
Rough Times - Current events and problems
Welcome brothers and sisters, today isn't much of an bible teachings. But more so what we have experience around the world, for the most part we have been going through the motions as some would call it. But for every good and bad thing happening in our lives, God has a reason for it or isn't part of that reason it happen. What I mean by the last one is sometimes both good and bad happens because of our surroundings, choices or something outside of our control. This can happen at any moment and we have no real control over these events.
The point being of how this COVID has got us stuck, frustrated, nervous or other feelings we have about this mess. It has been maybe year or more since this has started, and everyone can say either we are still experiencing this or they haven't been as bad as other areas. Yet some remains strong through this trying times, some are still experiencing these times worse, while others are either pass on or are experiencing some suffering these moments. In any case, we need to stay strong through Christ Jesus or lean on each other through this time. None of us can be alone no stay indoors all of our lives in fear or worries for the future. The point is many of us are still going through hard times and we can get frustrated easily by our surroundings and how we are dealing with current society new norms. But that is why more then ever we need to help each other be kind and compassionate for one another.
Now this may sound like a me speaking holier then thoub feeling, but I try not to act like I'm any better then anyone. If I have sounded that in these chapters I'm sorry for making you feel bad or angry about them. But even when we have faults, failures and mistakes, we strive for higher places that are from heaven. Yet we can't strive higher on our own strength or loneliness, for this time we need each other more then ever, fellowship, companionship through family, friends, brotherly and sisterly bonds, lean close to our love ones. What I'm getting at is this has been hard, and it never gets easy. No matter the times or age, when life, world, and reality gets hard, it's because we as people are feeling the effects of time, age bodies, and more growing heavier and heavier. Many would say you can relax or things will calm down. That's not the full truth, if anything when you grow older or are reaching your final moments, you will experience much burdens and hardship increasing then slowing down.
For personal experience this month has been rough, in fact it still is rough because of the times feels heavier then before. Yet the only reason it has lighten wasn't because I had time to think nor was it because I sat down and relax. If anything that just made things worse, yet when I do meet with people and took the moment to speak about my problems and troubles, the burden felt lighten. I won't say that praying to God and heeding his words won't help, in fact they are what gives your soul strength through Christ. But when we try things ourselves alone, that's when your strength is weaken. For God never created us to be alone, if anything we are meant to encourage, lean on, and seek others in need for their benefit and those who offer help towards us. Many times our pride and unwillingness to asked for help will led us down the wrong path. I can say this with certainty as I have seen this through my Dad, and in turn learned this habit that never help most of my life.
Folks I offer this as encouraging and wanting to help your spirits up in anyways possible. But also offer you seek this same help in others who are willing and truly care for you. God can help us in any situation, circumstance, and problems. Yet this can be done through people, for God's greatest power is not by his ability to change the earth or some powers in fictional stories of heroes vs villains. God's at his greatest when he can display through us how to help others and in turn does the same through them for us. When you follow Christ, you offer yourself as servants/children of God, willing to go where he wants you and to help those who pray towards God for his help. For sometimes help doesn't come from above, but through fellow servants who follow Christ and offer their help in unconditional love for one another. For Glory to God will be made through people and through their change of character and personality he has done for each one of us.
